Auto Reverting Font to Consolas about terminal HOT 6 OPEN

Install for all users work. It's kinda hidden though.

FYI don't forget to remove the per-user font now, or otherwise you got it installed twice. If you then update the font in the future, some apps will use the old version and some the new version which will be confusing.

BTW, why not include a quick instructions at the warning dialog box?

IMO that's a good idea. @zadjii-msft what do you think?

The reason you need to install it for all users is because per-user fonts have never been properly implemented in Windows. The font cache service simply "forgets" them after a reboot. So even outside of Windows Terminal, I would recommend always installing it for all users. We've internally reported the bug (MSFT:42103854), but work on it hasn't started yet. You can see the full history over at #3257.

No. I just select set of fonts then "Install". I also tried dragging to Windows Fonts directory

Install for all users work. It's kinda hidden though.

BTW, why not include a quick instructions at the warning dialog box? Or maybe some description in the warning dialog box that will tell the user that he needs to install for "all users" in order to render text properly.
